Hello! My name is Ando Valentine, and I'm an all-around creative soul. What does that even mean? Simply put, I don't really have one specific creative outlet that I focus on. I have talents and interests in several different areas.

Currently, my biggest focus is on music. I'm a singer/songwriter - think Barenaked Ladies with some Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, and Dan Fogelberg thrown into the mix - and this has been my most prolific outlet so far.

That being said, I also have always enjoyed creative writing, and my fiction tends toward the dark and horror side of the spectrum. Which is pretty odd, considering how much of a sappy, hopeless romantic I am inside, but that just means I'm really good at weaving something beautiful and then breaking your heart with a tragic twist.

More recently in life, I have begun to delve into more visual art forms, taking up nature and wildlife photography and oil painting. These are still relatively new to me and I don't have as much work produced, nor as much practice with them, but I aim to change that!

So what will your patronage mean to me? Plenty! In addition to just being eternally grateful for it, the support will also help keep my supplies in stock and even expand what I have access to. And even more importantly, having people actively engaged with me and my endeavors will boost my motivation to not only stick with it, but excel for the enjoyment of everyone who follows me (and who doesn't mind the occasional alliteration). And as I continue to grow and evolve as a person and an artist/creator, my offerings on Patreon will likely evolve with me, so keep an eye on it!

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. I love hearing from you, and I hope you'll engage with me on social media!

Thanks for your love and support!

Tiers

Casual Fan

$1 or more per month ∙ 0 patrons

Casual Fans have my eternal gratitude for support, and new Casual Fans will be mentioned - and thanked - in my monthly update videos.

True Fan

$5 or more per month ∙ 1 patron

True Fans receive all benefits from lower tiers, plus early access to all new material I create (songs, paintings, stories, etc).

* Please note: While I will do my best to post these creative works as they may be created, I am only human. At the very least, any new material created in a given month will be dropped by the end of the month.

Rabid Fan

$20 or more per month ∙ 0 patrons

Rabid Fans receive all benefits from lower tiers, plus a collection of early* recordings of my music. I will also mail you a hand-written thank-you note and a signed, hand-written copy of one of my songs (your choice).

* and by "early", I mean "raw, not-perfect recordings that may or may not be the best quality".

Goals

$13 of $50 per month

With $50 per month, I can keep my music and art supplies well-stocked. This will help reduce the stress of purchasing these items and help me produce content more regularly.
